Scallion Pork Belly Recipe

Instructions:

1. Marinate the pork: In a bowl, combine the sliced pork belly with 1 tbsp soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and garlic. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for better flavor).

2. Stir-fry the aromatics: Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and green chilies (if using) and stir-fry until softened.

3. Cook the pork: Add the marinated pork belly to the pan and stir-fry until browned and slightly crispy.

4. Add scallions: Add the scallions (both white and green parts) and stir-fry until the greens are wilted but still slightly crunchy.

5. Season and finish: Add the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce and stir-fry for another minute to combine the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Serve: Serve hot.

Tips:

– Marinating the pork helps tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
– Don’t overcrowd the pan when stir-frying the pork; work in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
– Adjust the amount of soy sauce and sugar to your preference. You can also add other seasonings like black pepper or chili flakes for extra flavor.
– The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork belly and the heat of your stove. Ensure the pork is cooked through and the scallions are tender-crisp.
